That's it, Randy: 1+1=2 ( that's 100% increase, or China doubling its
economy ); 1000+1= 1001 (that's 0,1% increase, or the US growing a whole
China ).

Well, for once I think I understand what Caio means. It's all relative. If
you're coming from nothing (example you have one theater and add a second)
and grow somewhat the growth can seem huge when you look at it percentage
wise. Compared with someone who has 1 million theaters and adds 100,000 the
growth rate compared to the one theater that doubles to two is much smaller.
Growth rates are very misleading many times. When it comes down to it opera
in America is still a fringe artform.
